An initiative of AIChE, Young Professionals Committee, and AIChE Foundation, the 35 Under 35 Award recognizes the significant contributions to the Institute and to the chemical engineering profession of 35 young professional AIChE members who are under the age of 35. The award was created to promote the achievements of this generation of chemical engineers who are changing the face of the profession.

“NMM congratulates Ankur on being recognized by the AIChE as one of the new generation’s outstanding young leaders in the chemical engineering industry,” said Dr. Ulku Oktem, CEO of Near-Miss Management.

Dr. Pariyani specializes in dynamic risk analysis of large-scale processing plants.
